need of women these days.” Then a man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Marry her to me.” The Prophet asked
him, “What have you got?” He said, “I have got nothing.” The Prophet said, “Give her something, even
an iron ring.” He said, “I have got nothing.” The Prophet asked (him), “How much of the Quran do
you know (by heart)?” He said, “So much and so much.” The Prophet said, “I have married her to you
for what you know of the Quran.”
